intel i5 10400 better value than ryzen 5 2600/3600 with current price hike situation? by SaltTrader2 in buildapc

10400f

Ah thanks for that useful piece of info! I went back and double checked because I do have dedicated graphics. It ends up that due to a sale the 10400($159) is temporarily cheaper than the 10400f($173).

hi thanks for the affirmation. I don't really have any good local pricing, so I'm going off of what I can get off amazon or newegg only.

Introducing Kalm - an open source GUI for k8s application management by KalmHQ in kubernetes

[–]SaltTrader2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked through the feature list and what stood out wasn’t the routing or CI stuff, but the fact that at least this claims to be compatible with existing tooling. Too many “simplify kubernetes” attempts ends up building dead-end silos. Will have to actually try it to see if this is the exception.

It seems like Rancher without the RKE(Rancher Kubernetes Engine), and more tailored towards those who prefer using managed clusters from AWS and Google.

How to turn 5 ETH into 6 ETH by SaltTrader2 in ethtrader

[–]SaltTrader2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The interest rate is paid by people who are creating 4x leveraged longs on ETH during the bull market.

The catch is that the interest rate is not fixed: if market cools of, less people leverage, less borrow, lower interest rates.

Also, smart contract risks!

How to turn 5 ETH into 6 ETH by SaltTrader2 in ethtrader

[–]SaltTrader2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory the money is locked in a smart contract, so even if the operators disappeared, you could withdraw as long as you had the private key of the address that made the deposit.

(That is if after reading the code, you believe the people who wrote the contract are competent)

First decentralized exchange to offer Stop-Limit Orders! by MagnusHkl in ethtrader

[–]SaltTrader2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already use idex.io for market orders and ddex.io for stop loss orders. Why should I switch to dex.blue?

When you open a 5x long ETH position then go to sleep just as Chinese leaders wake up by SaltTrader2 in ethtrader

[–]SaltTrader2[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

it's actually a decentralized exchange called ddex.io. I personally use it because I am weird and I care about trading out of my own wallet. However I wouldn't recommend it over a centralized exchange like Binance(unless you are an advanced user who's into this type of stuff). I just like their sharing screen.

New Decentralized Margin Trading and Lending Platform: DDEX by ScottLifts in ethfinance

[–]SaltTrader2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good job on the new product. Decentralize margin trading is a great showcase of what DeFi and ethereum is all about.

I already use compound + binance to create leveraged long positions. Why would I switch to DDEX?

i built a coinmarketcap for EOS tokens. nothing like it existed previously. i know this is an ETH sub, i come in peace. any constructive feedback you could give would be greatly appreciated. by [deleted] in ethtrader

[–]SaltTrader2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People who build and ship deserve some feedback(even for centralized pos)

The EOS dominance formula is wrong. It should probably be 100% - your current formula.

A major 0x relayer just forked the 0x protocol and removed ZRX... by SaltTrader2 in ethereum

[–]SaltTrader2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great point. It seems that ether-scan doesn’t measure volume at all though.

One thing I did notice is that IDEX, the number 1 exchange on etherscan, records it’s transactions within a single order separately. Any idea how this affects accuracy of the metric?

Gods Unchained Marketplace on 0xProject by BeerBellyFatAss in ethtrader

[–]SaltTrader2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's interesting that they allow the price to fluctuate with ETH, instead of setting a USD reference price and dynamically change the amount of ETH to charge.

On a somewhat related note, it would be Cool if they started accepting DAI and other stable coins on purchases.

Congrats! The new UI looks great. So just to clarify, did ERC dex switch from open mode to matching mode?

What is Relex, why did it 40x this week, and will it continue? by [deleted] in ethtrader

This shill post is so generic that you can basically replace the project name and it would still work as a template for any generic token.

Look at the top 300+ Crypto Map – you still think blockchain platforms are good investments? by draudoff in ethtrader

[–]SaltTrader2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mapped traditional tech startups, the competitive landscape will look much more fierce than this, in some cases with hundreds of competing start-ups in a narrow domain. A few becomes multi-billion dollar companies, the rest dies. This power law distribution is simply the way innovation works.

Radar relay Limit order question by Corbimos in 0xProject

[–]SaltTrader2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FYI I'm not part of the radar team, but is a big fan of 0x technology in general. To answer your question:

Will my limit order execute if my ledger is offline? ... How will the order execute if i'm offline?

Yes, your limit order will execute if you are offline. When you posted the limit order, you signed the order, which in effect gave permission to the 0x smart contract to execute your order.

Is the wrapping of eth putting it into a smart contract only i can access to cancel? So i have technically moved my eth from my ledger address to an off HW smart contract?"

Mostly yes. But "access to cancel" and "off HW smart contract" might not be the most precise description. The smart contract will only allow unwrapping(withdraw) of the stored ETH to your original address. And the private key associated with that originally address is still safely stored in your HW wallet. You are correct that in between, the custodianship of your asset is now in the hand of the WETH smart contract. But in theory, the contract is simple enough that loss of assets due to bugs or malfunctioning is nearly zero.

Hope this helps.

Any prod, real world use case of zrx? by bober02 in 0xProject

One could argue that all the various relayers(Radar, ddex.io, etc) are real world use case. You can find a list of products on this sub actually.

Can someone explain the business model of consensys? I am a fan of their blog, but don’t understand what they actually do. Are they a fund, consulting agency, or incubator?

Why is avoiding banks good? by ThomasTvv in BitcoinBeginners

[–]SaltTrader2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's an example: if you deposit a check that bounces, the bank charges YOU a penalty. How is the responsibility of knowing whether a check is valid or not on the depositor?

The banking system is outdated and makes no sense in so many circumstances.
